Minnesota Ground Water Association

2026 Gil Gabanski College Scholarships Available!

The Minnesota Ground Water Association (MGWA) and the MGWA Foundation (MGWAF) are pleased to announce the continuation of the Gil Gabanski Scholarship to support and encourage undergraduate and graduate students in groundwater science-related fields.

Multiple $2,000 scholarships will be awarded this year to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at accredited colleges or universities in Minnesota or adjoining states or provinces.

The goal of this scholarship is to alleviate a portion of educational costs and provide mentorship, while also increasing student interest in groundwater-related professions. The Gabanski Student Scholarships are made in honor of Gil Gabanski, the co-founder and former president of the Minnesota Ground Water Association. Gil had a profound impact on the groundwater and geosciences communities in Minnesota. He helped build our organization to what it is today and was always passionate about helping and mentoring students.

The deadline for the 2026 scholarship is February 1.  For additional information and to apply, visit: Gil Gabanski Student Scholarship.
